View from our unit.
We've never really been interested in a vacation or sun belt home but we have been wanting to spend more time in Vancouver. We looked into short term rentals this year but weren't very impressed with locations and comfort level.
So...we decided to rent an apartment for a year and may continue if we like it. We weren't really thinking of doing it quite so soon but a vacancy came up in a building, The Flamingo, that we consider the absolute best location in Vancouver. It's perfect for us...right on Beach Avenue west of Denman and very close to Stanley Park.
Great ocean views now and there will be even better views when the leaves fall. As John commented, we can do all the restaurants on Denman, then Robson, then Davie...then start again. And we have the Sylvia Hotel as our local. And we have the option of leaving from Vancouver for our travels...wow, what a luxury that will be. And it will be great to see Richard and our Vancouver friends more often.
It's just a one bedroom (so no guests for a while...sorry!) but almost 800 sq ft so quite large and we're on a wait list for a two bedroom. We were surprised at how few two bedroom units there are in many desirable apartments in Vancouver.
We're moving in Aug 15...exciting times for us!
